Replication across multiple Azure sites and regions (campus cluster) - Linux

To set up replication across regions, in a campus cluster, perform the following steps at both the regions:

  1. Enable the ports that are used for inbound and outbound communication.

    For a list of required ports and services, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Replication Administrator's Guide - Linux.

  2. Using Azure portal, create a resource group (RG) in both the regions.
  3. Create a VNet in each region and specify a non-overlapping IP address space for each VNet.
  4. Create a subnet and a gateway subnet under the VNets created in both the regions.
  5. Create a virtual network gateway in both the regions.
  6. Establish a connection in between the two virtual network gateways.
  7. Create virtual machines in the subnets and provision storage.
  8. Install the appropriate InfoScale product.
  9. Create FSS disk groups, VxVM volumes, Storage Replicator Log (SRL), Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.

    For details refer to, Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Administrator's Guide.

    Note:

    In Azure environment, by default, in addition to the storage disks that you have attached, every virtual machine that is provisioned contains a temporary resource disk, that serves as an ephemeral storage. Do not use the temporary resource as a data disk (VxVM disk) to store persistent data. The disk may change after a machine is redeployed or is restarted, and the data will be lost. For more information about how Azure uses a temporary disk, see Microsoft documentation.

    For details about how to identify a temporary resource disk:

    See About identifying a temporary resource disk - Linux.

  10. Create clusters in both the regions.
  11. Flush the iptables on all the cluster nodes.

    # iptable -F

  12. Set up replication using the private IP address or the virtual IP address.

    For details about setting up replication see Setting up replication in the Veritas InfoScale Replication Administrator's Guide - Linux.

  13. Verify the replication status.

    # vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name

    Ensure that the replication status shows:

    Replication status: replicating (connected)
